You're reading it wrong. All that means is a player can't legally place himself in the path of an airborne player if he wasn't already there before a player is airborne. Per your OP, the defender already placed himself legally in the path of the airborne player and by virtue of having LGP (per your OP), he's legally able to move backwards to maintain it.
